Here's something I thought about recently and haven't seen asked yet: I wonder which Japanese dub they're using for Shenmue 2? (Going to wait until I see them actively tweeting answers again before sending that one out) It doesn't really matter much to me which one they use and we'll know next month...

Shenmue I however does seem to have issues rendering in native 16:9 with cutscenes where objects disappear and reappear as the camera pans, there was a widescreen hack fix for this that eliminates most of those issues, it was a hex edit that apparently slightly fixed the camera positioning with no ...

I preordered the game and one of the major reasons why I wanted a version for PC was because of the aging Dreamcast system and the GDROMS are not going to last forever. The alternative of course was DEMUL and ROMS which of course fall into a gray area in terms of legality at least for the ROM porti...

I meant to share this back in April after the announcement, but I kept forgetting about it: http://www.sappharad.com/junk/shenmue12_logo.svg Vector version of the Shenmue I & II logo so you can scale it up to any resolution that you want. The English part of the logo should be a perfect match, b...

That Ren scene appeared in the trailer that dropped yesterday, FYI. With what looks like basically the same brightness levels "as it should be". Yeah, I just noticed that this morning after re-watching the trailer again. It looks perfect there. The screenshots are definitely old. I've edi...

And frankly, the emulated screenshot shown looks too dark, and not because of good contrast, since the color contrast still looks more vibrant in the port shot imo. I don't remember the game looking that dark back in the day, but it's been quite a long while since I've played it on DC so as I said,...

I knew compressed audio was what we were getting. While it's known Sega still has Ryo's English lines uncompressed i highly doubt they also have every single uncompressed line from the close to one a thousand NPCs throughout both games in both languages so its understandable. Based on the quality i...

I don't like it because I'd prefer some consistency, but I 100% agree it's way better than the Papyrus font. Ditto. I think it's good especially because it tries to match the same aesthetic of the original Japanese letters, but they're also losing some brand recognition by not going with the logo t...

Oh boy, here we go again. Apologies in advance. 3 of the screenshots that are in the dark / at night look way too bright, like they were taken during the day. Ren from the donation scene, Ryo & Nozomi on the bench, and the scene in Beverly Hills Wharf especially doesn't look as dark as I'd expec...

It's kind of interesting that Ryo's room at the Inn is in the same place that Xiuying's room was at the Da Yuan Apartments. Probably just a coincidence, but at least it'll be easy to remember.

My prediction is that the release date gets announced at PSX 2018 but we'll see. PSX 2018 has not been announced yet. Last year it was announced at E3. This doesn't necessarily mean it's not going to happen this year, in 2016 they announced it really late (I think October?) but this seems like a ye...

Any guest book reward people here? I have no idea what message to put the guest book!? Looking for some ideas. About that, I need some help regarding the message. - Is this the survey where we need to specify the message? (i didn't receive the email yet) - What languages are allowed for the message...

You know what would really make it special? Many games release on a Friday these days, as opposed to a Tuesday. Nintendo updates the Switch eShop on Fridays. It's just the standard Nintendo day for games that are not multi-platform. With the high popularity of the Switch, it's likely that the reaso...

If I get the survey, what do I do for shipping address as I know I will not be at my current location by the time the game ships? I think someone said that you can update it whenever you want. But I'm not sure now that I say it. I've participated in other kickstarters that had rewards shipped. In t...

And anecdotally, those who've received theirs do all appear to be high level donors, though I don't know if it's been everyone above a certain tier or still just a sampling of those. It also may just be a coincidence that these are the recipients I happen to be aware of. I think that's just a coinc...
